I’m currently grinding britain 8.3-8.7 and I just calculated that to finish getting all the 8.3’s and 8.7’s I’m missing I need 1 228 430 RP, if I divide that by 3500rp per game, that’s 351 games just to get done with rank 5 and 6 in that Tree, make it 13 minutes per games, it’ gonna take around 75h of gametime where I can’t do bad in a single game or my estimation will get thrown out. I got the spading bonuses out of the equation but still realistically I will spade 10 vehicles at most while doing so, so it’s maybe a 15% decrease in needed research/time.
I get that we need to grind, but there’s already thousands of vehicles to grind in the game and even with premium you need thousands of hours to grind a nation.
I play the game since the Ground CBT, I have over 4500h in the game only on Steam and I have yet to achieve top tier in a single nation because I play most nations in air and ground. The grind past 8.7 takes so much time that anyone with a life will have to spend days or weeks to unlock things.
yeah and then have fun grinding the same vehicles in different techtree’s again.
what i found out, that i can maximize profit by playing only one premium tank with premium time and try to stay alive the hole match. Even if you only get 3 kills, it gives some decent RP 4-6 K RP depends if you win or not.
yeah I know but there’s nothing in the brits that tickles my fancy and I don’t want to play a premium at 10.3-10.7 as it’s just not fun.
But yeah my lineup consists of the 2 chieftains and that’s plenty to keep me through the matches, I just unlocked the 76 Rooikat and I’m attacking the SPAA lines now, gonna be using that 8.7 lineup until it’s spaded then I’ll go back to 8.3 when I’ll have a lineup for it.
The 10.3 line up is pretty good with the chally MK2, but with the current compression, playing the MK3 and DS just results in guaranteed uptiers to 11.7
CAS is pretty tame at that BR relatively anyways. WW2 is an absolute shitshow by comparison due to lack of radar spaa and CAP not having a2a missiles. Other bad offendors are the BRs where helis outrange all SPAA like 9.x? And of course 13.0 matches with kh38.
I feel like i die to CAS literally 10x more often in ww2/cold war BRs than modern ones. There is def way more planes up in the air in these matches too.
Maybe, it is true that missile spaa helps a lot but they get obsolete kinda quick since a lot of CAS planes have more range than the SPAA have on the ground, which is stupid but anyways.
I’m not getting killed by planes that much but it could be my playstyle and I jump in an SPAA or in a CAP plane as soon as there’s a bit too many planes in the airs so the threat that they pose doesnt last long even in WW2 stuff there’s some pretty good spaas when employed correctly. IE you dont shoot at 2km away and you move after each burst/kill so you don’t get focused.
It’s Gaijins business model now. (well, for the past decade-ish) Advertise the game as a modern tank (and plane) “simulator” and then force players to buy premium vehicles and premium time if they actually want to get to the modern stuff, or for the larger trees even get to the late war vehicles they might prefer.
I’ve completely given up on even playing most of the ground trees since I don’t have the time to play like I used to. I’d rather do anything else than spend ~20 minutes just to get such pathetic amounts of RP.
Even wins though reward only a tiny bit more and who wins is usually down to nation comp rather than anything else and as Britian, im totally at the mercy of just getting a good team comp
I don’t like the activity reward. Getting a lot of kills in quick succession gives less RP than killing 2-3 tanks and just doing nothing, but spending time in battle. The skill bonus was a good addition, but it didn’t fixed this situation in general. It’s atrocious to grind any stock vehicle even with premium account (I just can’t forget how I spaded both Puma’s and T-72B3).
My friend, you already know that Gaijin screws over reward modifiers to make people choose to either buy premium vehicles or GE the vehicle mods. You also already know that the modifiers are the worst for ground vehicles.
It’s all by design, and an absolutely atrocious one at that.
